Leopard cats are small wild cats found in southern and eastern Asia. All leopard cats are on the endangered species list . Leopard cats often get mistaken for being the same size as an Asian leopard this is not the case they are not big, and range from 5 lbs. to 15 lbs. They do appear larger then a domestic cat due to the length of there body. They have a variable background colour depending on what subspecies and where they originate from, but typically it is a golden brown to tawny brown. The belly is typically a very stark white with spots (one of the hardest traits to carry over into the latter generations of Bengals). The tail is normally spotted with the spots forming rings towards the tip. Rosettes are not found in all subspecies of leopard cats, many just have small solid spots. The leopard cat head is small compared to the rest of the body, with small rounded ears. The leopard cat is extremely shy and reclusive, not aggressive as many think, and are very shy round strangers, they would back off and hide instead of attacking.
The F refers to Foundation Generation which is the cross between ALC & Domestic. The F number is used for quick reference.
F1-Is the first generation cross, meaning one parent is an ALC with 50% or higher wild blood
F2-Is the second generation there will be a grandparent who is an ALC-Males are usually sterile
F3-Is the third generation - Some males are fertile
F4-Is the last generation before a cat is recognised as a true Bengal - Both sexes are usually fertile
